Lee assists Latvian military with conversion

Cadet Dan Lee is an Army National Guard soldier who completed Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training as a Combat Engineer at Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo., last summer. Since then, he contracted with the Simultaneous Membership Program at Northern Michigan University. He continues to attend drill weekends and annual training in Michigan, and is set to commission into active duty in May 2015 as a second lieutenant.

Lee graduated from Stevens Point Area Senior High in 2011 and is pursuing a bachelor's degree in criminal justice, with a minor in military science. In June he traveled to Latvia through a program with ROTC and the Michigan National Guard. He worked with the Latvian military in their conversion from a Soviet Doctrine-based military to a Western/NATO member country military.

He is the son of Julie Diedrick Cyran and stepson of Bob Cyran of Stevens Point.

Ramon along with other active duty and Navy Reservists recently completed testing the integration of a collective protection system. With a collective protection system, an Expeditionary Medical Facility is protected against chemical, biological and radiological exposure. CH EMFs provide medical personnel the capability to operate without having to be fully outfitted in individual protective or mission oriented protective posture gear.

During the evaluation phase, medical personnel were enclosed within the facility for 72 hours. Simulated patient scenarios were conducted to provide a realistic feeling to the event. The four acre site played host to practically every medical casualty situation that could be encountered by operational facilities in real-world situations.

A 1985 graduate of Stevens Point Area Senior High, Ramon is the son of Violanda and Armando Ramon of Stevens Point. He joined the Navy in October 1996.
